50ChevyFrank Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Someone posted this picture on the Studebaker forums. One 55 Stude and two Buicks. I think one is a 57 and the other a 55. Correct? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50ChevyFrank Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The front Buick has 3 portholes. Special, right? The rear one is a 4-door hardtop and I think has 4 portholes. Roadmaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 RIP Glenn Miller. Lost over the Englsh Channel 1944 during WWII. At 38 years old, Miller enlisted in the US Army and was made a Captain. He wanted to bring some entertainment to the troops and gave up making between $15,000 and $20,000 per week (1942 dollars, you figure out what that would be in today's dollars.) On a flight to Paris to see about bringing his entire band to Paris, his plane went down and neither he nor the plane were recovered. A true patriot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 RivNut is right, been a long time since geography class! Makes sense the car closer to USA. The license plate looks like it shows the year plus the issuing state but can’t make it out https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS712US712&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=tropico+de+cancer+mapa&hl=en-US&fir=iUvLkxhK7SG2sM%2CNOhA0HFKMrU2xM%2C_%3ByEznxi2_EMAT9M%2Cwo-f7UP1BIEbFM%2C_%3B11IjdJwPn132dM%2C2t0kHTwfPSH-_M%2C_%3Bd4WNy2r_BwqWuM%2Cal-RbJ8OmTv8BM%2C_%3BBlJYHRCmpxPo-M%2CbZGyltMMpZaonM%2C_%3B4HdDoCzFipYEhM%2C2deTxtuWhaoVLM%2C_%3Bx50bh1YHEWKafM%2CjPHl8J-IRl6x1M%2C_%3B6_6kSH7v7uvesM%2CeT8nZ9fd5iVuoM%2C_%3BAhRvkv72JQ63fM%2CD5SZJPNCnfT5BM%2C_%3BXdX2723P3z0YyM%2C9Q-JwR1W5fKFaM%2C_%7Czona%20intertropical%3Bc%C3%ADrculo%20polar%3Bdiversidad%3Bdel%20tr%C3%B3pico%3Bc%C3%ADrculos%20polares%3Bm%C3%A9xico%3Bpolar%20%C3%A1rtico%3Bpaises%20atraviesa%3Bmeridiano%3Bl%C3%ADnea%20imaginaria&usg=AI4_-kQJrxTp-v1QO7nhNC9DZllxNfebpQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiN5tqUw5buAhWQuVkKHZTDA44Q7Al6BAgEEEg&biw=398&bih=693&dpr=2#imgrc=11IjdJwPn132dM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The earth's axis is tilted 23.5°. The Tropic of Cancer is 23.5° north of the equator. The Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5° south of the equator. On the summer solstice, around June 20 - 21, the sun's Ray's shine directly on the Tropic of Cancer. On the winter solstice, around December 20 - 21, the sun's Ray's shine directly on the Tropic of Capricorn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any convertible owners out there care to do a windows up/down comparison? Windows up definitely helps with wind noise (I do it when on the freeway), but you drop them when photographing. My two cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm up for a drive and don't feel like prepping the car with the boot, I roll the front windows down, unlatch the top and hit the button to drop the top. Not every drive is a show, but every drive is a blast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
